Here are a couple of Project Drawer feature requests.
1. Double-click on folder name should expand folder. (iTunes's Radio streams used to work the way TextMates does now, but with the latest release they've enhanced it as I'm suggesting). It's a small point, but frequently used interface elements shouldn't rely solely on a tiny triangle.
2. Standard keyboard shortcuts. First-letter navigation to file or folder beginning with that letter would be great. Command-Down-arrow should open file or expand folder. Return key should rename.
Thanks for a great product. As a recent switcher I honestly feel TextMate is one of the big advantages of using a Mac.

Not sure if by “expand” you mean “descend into”. Cause that's what I plan for the future.

Probably you want Finder shortcuts :) TextMate uses the Cocoa outline view, and thus the “standard” (according to Cocoa at least) keys for navigation. That means arrow left to expand a group, return to “click” it, space to rename (okay, this “standard” is from IB and Xcode).
As for first-letter navigation, try cmd-T and you probably won't have a need for the project drawer anymore ;)

Thanks! :)
Thanks, Allan. cmd-T is really great and will definitely change the way I use the project drawer (i.e. less).
You're right--finder shortcuts are not necessarily "standard". Thanks for catching that.
I'm fairly sure "descend into" would be great for the double-click issue, though I'm hazy on the difference.

Neat, that's really useful to me too.
It makes me wonder about all the other keybindings I have no idea about. It would be really nice if there was an option to print out a keybinding chart showing all the currently mapped keys and what their function was.

If we ignore the standard key bindings (for moving the caret etc.), then I'm almost certain that ctrl-[shift-]S for incremental [backwards] seach and option to toggle a selection between normal and column mode, are the only two functions not visible through the menus (and menus show the key equivalent).
Some items though have aliases, in particular shift left/right which also work with option-[shift-]tab (that binding is in the included key bindings file).
And some menu items only show up when holding down a modifier key, for example Execute Line Inserting Result from the Text menu becomes … and Replace with Result when holding down the option key.
So while a section in the manual about key bindings would be nice, 99% of the info should be in the application :)
